How do I know he's telling the truth?

You need to be really careful, hun. It’s not safe to meet guys that you met on the internet, especially with you being so young. How do you know he’s telling the truth? You don’t. And you won’t find out until later on. How old is he? Why does he want to see you so bad? I would be cautious… you can’t trust many people nowadays.

You don’t know if he is telling the truth and that is very scary. One thing I know you could do is the background check thing on the internet. Its kind of scary to know anyone can find almost anything out about you, but there are times when it is needed to be used and not just to pry. This is one of those times. I suggest you do that and find out all that you can about the real him.

I can only assume that you make excuses not to see him because you don’t actually trust him 100%. If you don’t fully trust him, you really shouldn’t even be thinking about meeting up. As said, you have to be careful. Meeting up with a complete stranger isn’t safe. Although you’ve seen him and talked to him, that doesn’t mean that he’s not some crazy lunatic. (I’m not saying that everyone you meet will be a lunatic, but I’m saying that you’re better off being safe about it because there are a lot of them out there. It only takes one meet up for you to get hurt. It’s seriously NOT worth it.)

You don’t know for SURE, until you spend time with him. Let him come to visit, and find out now rather than later if he’s lying. If he’s not, then you’ve got a relationship that is now past the “fantasy stage”…and moving into “real”…

i have a friend that i met online too. i trust her. we became close friends and we friended each other on facebook. You never know when someone lies but sometimes you just have to go with your guts. Good Luck
